My subdivision has an alley behind 2/3 of the lots. The other 1/3 of the lots are located on the periphery of the subdivision and have regular driveways that connect directly to the city streets in front of the lots.
Each limestone-paved alley is labeled "20 ft. servitude of passage, 10 ft. each side" on the subdivision plat. In other words, the developer granted a servitude for an alley that runs across the rear 10 feet of each alley lot.
I live on one of those lots. My lot is 75 ft. wide. That means I own the dirt underneath a 10' x 75' patch of the alley behind my house as do all the other lot owners on my alley.
The alley has an enormous pothole close to my lot. I scrape the bottom of my car driving through it. My question is this: who is responsible for repairing the alley——the lot owner (me) or the HOA?
